grinding away,literally.both grinding away at the sweet double top tube 29er cruiser i'm building for dirtrag magazine,which has tons of brass to polish.hope to finish mid week or so.also grinding away at trying to walk again,the hardest task i have yet undertaken.today i tried to walk down the driveway and back with my walker,but wiped out on the way back up,my right leg just gave out.made my back and my shattered femur really hurt.taking a rest from armbiking as well,going up dogfood and down schultz creek kicked my ass yesterday,and it's usually pretty doable.for those who have not seen an off-road arm bike,check out www.titaniumarts.com they are pretty nice,and let me get back in the woods to see my friends and the flowers.every rider we saw yesterday was on a coconino! enough for today,me and denise are making some tacos and it's time to eat.

SO, WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT, THEN?

Hi! my name is Steve Garro, and this blog is an ongoing chronical of the process of building the finest handmade bicycles I can here at Coconino Cycles, located in beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona.

I'm a one man operation, doing all the design and fabrication in house with my own hands. we have been operating full time since feburary 2003, producing about 20-25 frames a year, as well as handbuilt wheelsets and complete bike builds. every bike is totally custom fit to the needs and measurements of each rider and built from scratch with hand selected tubesets from several premium manufactuers including True Temper, Dedacciai and Kaisei. I pride myself on perfect fit, ride quality, and durability to provide you with the best cycling experence I can. to know more details, check out my web page, http://www.coconinocycles.com/

Please note that as of 1/14 I had a roughly one amd a half year backlog on orders. I have since stopped taking deposits to catch up on work until January 2015

When looking through my blog, you will also see alot of details of my life and pictures of things I like to do and stuff that I think is cool, like handcycling, fishing, boating, friends and family, critters, landscape, and flowers, with some wierd stuff thrown in for good measure. enjoy, and thanks for stopping by - Steve
